Here's an excerpt from it:
"...Marv and Ina returned to California, settling in San Jose in 1977. In San Jose, Marv and Ina were very active their church, and both Square and Round Dancing with several clubs. In retirement, Marv and Ina traveled with the Methodist Care-A-Vanners, helping with hands-on projects in various churches, and semi-annual trips, to open and close the United Methodist Camp at Mount Shasta. They also worked with UMCOR, rebuilding homes after natural disasters across the United States and Nassau, Bahamas. Marv also volunteered with a local history club, The Argonauts, and for the New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum. Marv and Ina traveled the world, and went as far as they could go in their motorhome. Marv was kind and generous to many and will be missed. A celebration of life and reception will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2023 at 1:00 pm at Cambrian Methodist Church (1919 Gunston Way, San Jose, CA). In lieu of flowers, the family asks for any donations to be made to New Almaden Quicksilver County Park Association (NAQCPA) - PO Box 124, New Almaden, CA 95042." I've known Marv for many years. I saw him at NAQCPA board meetings, where he was the treasurer, at NAQCPA's Pioneer Day celebrations in Almaden Quicksilver County Park, at County Park volunteer recognition events, and at NAQCPA Christmas parties at Mike Boulland's house. Here are pictures I've taken of Marv over the years.
